Bioengineering

Bioengineering at the Harvard School of Engineering is inherently interdisciplinary and combines faculty and research centers from across our campuses and Harvard teaching hospitals.

In bioengineering we integrate fundamental engineering disciplines such as thermodynamics and fluid mechanics with the physical and life sciences while drawing on mathematics and computational sciences. This convergence allows us to undestand the operation of living systems and to design novel solutions to critical problems in medicine and biology. Bioengineers at Harvard are making advances in bioinspired robotics and computing; biomechanics and motor control; cell and tissue engineering, biomaterials and therapeutics.
